Layered Zirconia Crown
Layered Zirconia Crown: Advanced Dental Y-TZP Technology with Multi-Layer Translucency
What Makes Our Layered Zirconia Crowns Different
Our multilayered zirconia structure provides the perfect balance between strength and beauty. We use Y-TZP (Yttria-stabilized Zirconia) with a 4-layer gradient system that mimics natural tooth appearance.
Key Features At A Glance
- 4-layer opacity transition (45% → 32%) [^1]
- Strong – 1,350 MPa flexural strength
- ISO certified – meets ISO 6872:2015 Class 5 standards [^2]
- Margin options from 0.3mm knife-edge to 1.2mm chamfer
- Fast turnaround – 24-hour rush service available
Technical Specifications Table
| Feature | Details | Benefit To Your Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Y-TZP with gradient opacity layers | Natural-looking results that satisfy patients |
| Strength | 1,350 MPa post-sintering | Withstands up to 1,200N chewing forces |
| Margins | As thin as 0.3mm knife-edge | Preserves more natural tooth structure |
| Processing | 5-axis CAM milling + 2-stage sintering | Precise fit with <15μm marginal gap [^3] |
| Opacity Gradient | 4-layer system with natural transition | No need for opaque liner on discolored teeth |
Best Used For:
- Anterior restorations requiring high aesthetic layered results
- Posterior crowns for patients with bruxism
- Implant-supported full-arch bridges
- Cases with discolored substrates needing masking
- Full-contour restorations with thin walls
Workflow Integration
Our layered zirconia crowns fit perfectly into your existing workflow:
- Send us your scans – we work with all major scanners
- We design using our CAD/CAM layer mapping system
- Get approval within 8 hours
- We mill using Zirkonzahn M5 technology
- Dual-sintering process ensures perfect fit
- Final QC with Vita Easyshade V verification
- Same-day shipping available for urgent cases
Technical Edge: Why Labs And Dentists Choose Our Zirconia
The BioStar HPC zirconia we use has been hot isostatic pressed to achieve 99.9% density with virtually no porosity (<0.1%). This means:
- Better translucency at the incisal edge
- Higher strength under load
- Superior polish retention
- Lower failure rates – only 0.8% veneer fracture rate vs 3.2% industry average [^4]
Clinical Applications Table
| Case Type | Recommended Configuration | Lab Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Full-arch bridges | 4-layer zirconia + titanium bases | 6-axis milling with optimized channels |
| Deep subgingival preps | 0.3mm knife-edge margins | Digital die spacer + dual sintering |
| Fluorosis cases | Enhanced opacity basal layer | Monolithic gingival third design |
| Pediatric crowns | Modified sintering (1,300°C) | Pre-indexed pediatric templates |
